I've uploaded a beta "Dragon Box source" 108 (first episode of this dub).

Uploading a couple not-quite-finished episodes as sample footage will give a general idea where I'm going, for when I try to make DVDs with the *finished* episodes later.

Keep in mind the scope of this project... [b]169 episodes[/i]... over 50 hours of footage which needs to be rebuilt over the various DVD sources for video and TV rips for audio.  It's a bit more intensive, I think, than doing movies, although not being a fan edit it doesn't take nearly the effort of something like Adywan's work.

The goal is DVDs 5-per, but I will periodically upload MP4s as well.  The MP4s may be missing "paint" or even proper title cards but will otherwise be complete down to the closing logo bumper.  (I have several episodes with the bumper.  The copy on the MP4, however, is derived from a DVD released by Bridge in the Netherlands.)

On this MP4 you can see the completed opening and closing.  The title cards, taken from the Funimation singles (Trunks-2), are TV-authentic.  3 quick shots in the ED and two shots in the OP are also from the Funi singles.  The remainder is taken from R2 DVDs (Dragon Box).  The end credits may be slightly off in color and size; the text is accurate, and I fixed a spelling error ("Dissuke Nishio" is corrected to "Daisuke Nishio").  As mentioned above, the episode is missing the "paint" (which in this case means the removal of Briefs' cigarette has not been done).  I may consider also for the final version adding two pairs of fades - one at the beginning of the recap, and one at the end of the episode (next ep preview) - to hide small gaps in the audio.

Again, this is the Canadian-produced dub, broadcast but never released to home video.  As far as I am aware, all the voice actors except for Bulma's are the same as they were in the Saban dub with Maggie Blue O'Hara taking Bulma's role (iirc, she also played Bulma in the initial Funimation dub, by BLT Productions, of Dragon Ball).  Peter Kelamis is Goku.  Brian "OVER 9000!" Drummond is Vegeta.  Scott McNeil is Piccolo. Et cetera.  And the narrator doesn't sound like he's trying to force an impression of Don LaFontaine.  Certain music is apparently lifted from two other series which Ocean Group recorded.

One thing I observed: The Funi single of this ep is slightly zoomed in.  You do get a little more picture from the Dragon Box.
